We will pick you up from your destination and drive towards the outskirts of Mosfellsbær town. This town is located about 15 minutes from downtown Reykjavík. Upon arrival, we will give you a brief security talk and further instructions on the operation of the bikes. Once everyone is well prepared, we ride off in a full-throttle ATV bike tour through the Hafrafjall mountain. When we reach the top there is a spectacular view over the Reykjavik capital area and Mount Esja. Come and explore the vast open hills and mountains on the outskirts of the city with us.
Quad biking makes it possible for us to visit places accessible only to the selected few who have access to off-road vehicles, making this an unforgettable outdoor adventure. The standard trip includes one hour of quad bike driving, but we offer customized trips at your convenience. Call our staff and get something set up just for you.
Our trips are suitable for everyone including groups, individuals, families, stag and hen parties, or corporate events.
This tour is available from the location and with a Reykjavík pick-up.

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family. Whale Watching with our partner company Elding has been a favourite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).
Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs. Most of our super jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour.

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
